The Blues are third in the standings with a score of 15-4, the debutant in the regional competition and the Euroleague team are second with a performance of 17-2.
The jersey of the team from the Emirates is worn by former Buducnost basketball players McKinley Wright and Kenan Kamenjaš.
"We are playing against a team that is built for great results, with excellent individuals and great physical strength. We are expecting a very difficult match. They are in good rhythm and form, and they are also excellently led. First of all, we have to be physically ready to respond to their size and toughness, and only then comes the tactics. As in every match, we have to worry more about our game – to have energy, focus and to enter the match in the right way," said Budućnost coach Andrej Žakelj in the match announcement.
After being eliminated in the Eurocup, the future is focused only on the ABA League, while Dubai plays on two fronts, and this week is a double round in the Euroleague.
"I expect a very difficult game against a strong opponent. We have to prepare well and I believe that we will be ready for this challenge and give our best. This is a quality Euroleague team that plays good basketball, so we have to stay within our system and try to play the best possible game," said "Blues" basketball player Oleksandr Kovlijar.
